Hello fellow self-hosters and homelabbers,
A few weeks ago I was able to fill my new NAS with the proper hardware I needed to expand on my earlier setup.
Due to the new capabilities I also wanted a fresh restart. But the more I think about doing one thing, the more I hit other road blocks amd think about doing Y.
So I wanted to ask how you would solve my goal.
1x 13th gen i3 NUC running Proxmox 8.2
1x 11th gen i5 NUC
1x uGreen DXP4800+ NAS with 4x15TB HDDs in Raidz2. The OS is TrueNAS scale
1: Should I do a media-storage VM only utilized for serving media and do the computing on another VM or do a general VM for both?
I hope someone can maybe help me untangle my grown mess and plans. My skills with Linux are not very deep and very beginner level. If you are willing to help please be patient with stupid questions.
If you have any better solutions, pointers to research, (blog) articles on architecting such solutions, examples how you solved storage/management or just willing to help me, I’d be very grateful :)

I didnt mean that literally ;)
You said I should abandon the docker platform in favor of utilizing the LXC container world? Can’t you use Docker inside a LXC container? But that sounds like more work vs a proper VM
No, I recommended Docker in a VM.
Assumed so and will probably continue. Thanks for your input :)
